Hi.
I've been considering trying out Rimworld. Now, when I heard about the new expansion, I almost bought the product. However, just before I did, something alarming caught my eye.
It seems in 2016 there was a scandal about different genders/sexualities and the factors affecting their attraction behavior. I was quite shocked to learn how all men were configured to be categorically more horny or that bisexuality was impossible among them. There were several other equally disturbing parametrizations, but I think people can understand which incident I'm talking about.
I'd like to know:
a) Have these issues been amended? (If you ask me, there should be no difference between men and women in general and these should anyway be character-specific attributes.)
b) Has Mr. Sylvester issued a public apology and abandoned his outdated sexist views?
The game itself seems to be quite interesting and I'm willing to try it out given that my worries have properly been addressed. However, this is a deal breaker for me. I try to always consume ethically and under no circumstances support chauvinistic bigots.
Thank you for your answer in advance,
BR,
Jandof
